Worcester, Mass. - Saturday, April 14, is National Day of Climate Action, a grassroots plan for more than 600 "Step-it-Up" rallies and protest demonstrations across the United States. Events are designed to raise awareness and to advocate policy changes that would help reduce carbon emissions.

Clark first-year student Ashley Trull is organizing the campus community. Jennie Stephens, Assistant Professor of Environmental Science and Policy at Clark's Department of International Development, Community, and Environment, is among the invited speakers at the Worcester Step-it-Up Climate Rally.
